Chicken Wire and Styrofoam...

 

The house that the 4th little pig built?  The little pig that no one talks about?  Because he built a house out of chicken wire and Styrofoam?

No, but it is house related.

Steph and Dan sent us the current progress photos... the house now has Styrofoam and chicken wire on the exterior; that is what they put on in order to do the stucco on the exterior...

That indoor plumbing stuff is going to have one of those wash tub things for a Saturday night bath...

 More stud walls on the interior...

The side yard and back patio...

Each week, it looks more like a real house.

After selling the GoPro and Akaso cameras and the Yuneec drone, I took those apps off my iPhone.  I enjoyed the Akaso, not so much the GoPros.  A young guy has them now - he'll probably be better than I was with the pain-in-the-ass menus you had to wade through on those cameras.  Not gonna miss them.

Today, I deleted the GoPro app off my iPhone (sold the cameras at yesterdays' Fiesta Day).  I could say it was the "end of an era," but I'm not going to miss them.  I bought that first GoPro over a decade ago, with the idea of documenting some boat and motorcycle stuff.  It was a pain in the ass right off the bat.  In fact, the first one that was delivered to us while working the whale watch jobs in the Pacific Northwest came in DOA.  They sent out another one... after they received the dead one back.  That should have cued me in on their customer service.

When I could get the damn thing to shoot (it seemed to enjoy freezing up when the opportunity for a good shot came up), it did an OK job.  I didn't use it much because of the maze of button pushes you had to go through to change any settings.

A few years later, I bought an Akaso camera (similar to a GoPro), and it was easy to use and worked when it was supposed to.  Bouyed by the success of that experience, I thought I'd try another GoPro, due to the better resolution.  Several generations later, and that GoPro was also a pain in the ass.  I tossed them all in a drawer and bought that first 360 camera.  No looking back.
